"Improving food security is one of the challenges that will need to be tackled with the reform of the common agricultural policy (CAP) after 2013.
The ability to guarantee sufficient food stocks to EU citizens must reflect the predicted sharp increase in world food demand by 2050. In the light of this, it is a priority for the European Union to continue safeguarding this fundamental human right within and without its borders, seeking to increase agricultural productivity and, at the same time, ensuring a secure supply of affordable food, in addition to the now essential need to protect Europe’s rural environment.
We cannot allow financial speculation to continue causing uncontrolled price rises and global food market volatility. To safeguard European production, we need to restore balance to the contractual relationships between producers and the modern distribution system.
We must not underestimate the fact that unequal bargaining power, anti-competitive practices and a lack of transparency are often at the root of market distortions, with major consequences for the competitiveness of the entire food supply chain."@en1
